Abstract

We present one of the key-enabling technologies in 5G wireless networks, i.e., Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. Furthermore, we discus some of our work in utilizing D2D communication in one of the most bandwidth-demanding applications in 5G networks, i.e., video streaming. D2D communication, introduced by the LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) standard, allows direct communication between devices in cellular networks. We review some of the work in the literature on D2D communication and its applications in video streaming. We also discus an architecture that provides Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)—based Peer-to-Peer (P2P) video streaming in cellular networks. The architecture employs Base-Station (BS)—assisted D2D video transmission in cellular networks for direct exchange of video contents among users. We evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture in terms of many video streaming Quality-of-Experience (QoE) metrics.
